“The first floor of the house was soaked with urine, covered with feces and approximately one inch of standing water.”
Police found the bodies of two “Mi-Ki breed dogs” as they sorted through the mess: One was left “rotting in a bag in the bedroom,” and the body of the other was found in the backyard. The house was overrun with 37 living dogs in various states of illness, and neighbors told police that Wilkerson-Hood’s children were left to look after the animals and themselves as best they could.
The living dogs were examined by a veterinarian and had ailments ranging from gum disease to skin infections caused by “urine scald.” All had fur heavily matted with feces.
Wilkerson-Hood allegedly later told police she had been spending time at her boyfriend’s home without her children and tried not to stay at Ramsey Drive. Carlton, emphasizing certain words in her written statement, then adds, “Tiffany could only advise a couple of times that her children were NOT in the home in the past 60 days when she was asked.”
